The Visual Mba: Two Years of Business School Packed into One Priceless Book of Pure Awesomeness

Having completed my own MBA, in an in-person class setting (not online), I learned so many valuable topics and yet often find myself trying to recall a principle that has escaped me. This book provides a wonderful refresher and helps me recall things I had learned. In the past I would pull up my personal notes (typed up in Google Docs, or written directly on the cases), only to find that I didn't take that good of notes. Now, I'll have a much better and visual way of reviewing what I had learned/forgotten, and even learn new topics I hadn't covered.In addition, the breadth is enormous... I believe it covers almost all the courses I had in my own MBA, plus some that I didn't take. For example, while I did learn some about global business, this book has a full chapter assigned to it. One of the topics discussed in that chapter is the CAGE distance framework, which helps a manager think about global business outside simply a geographic distance, including cultural, administrative, geographic and economic distance differences between your potential customers. As I'm currently working on some cross the globe business projects I'll be turning to this section frequently to make sure I'm best aligning my targeting.Anyhow, all around great book, and I'm happy to have it in my business arsenal!

This was such a great 'read' to walk through the masters in business administration. Having run and co-run several businesses (both successfully and unsuccessfully), this would have been a terrific tool to have. It would be great for our next gig to share with the entire team so everyone has a sense of what it takes to make a business successful, what to measure, and what matters. This is a great condensed version of a lot of information. I heartily recommend it to anyone wanting to sharpen their sword and pick some part of starting and running a successful business to further consider.

Packed is the word! Distilled to the essence is the result. Quick read due to the diagrams and illustrated notes.As an MBA holder, I must admit he covers the topics fairly well, but as in many things, the devil is in the details. And frankly, doing the assignments is what really leads to a level of comfort and understanding so no book of notes will ever replace that.Still, a useful guide for those who wish to "hold their own" in basic business discussions but who have no desire to get bogged down in scholarly academic writings. The book also makes one appreciate the use of real life case studies common to most MBA programs and the interaction among the students of various specialties that tend to mimic real life interactions.

Highly enjoyable and informative - the pictures in the book make all the difference; better to read on paperback or hardback than on a kindle

I love visual learning but honestly this could have added a bit more text along with the pictures and been longer. I felt like the info was too shallow to stick

Easily to grabs the idea. Wonderful pictures.I enjoy every page and remember the ideas. This book is a recommended reference

I am an avid reader and have tried to get through other MBA books. It's been so difficult to do -- that is, before this book. I keep stopping and starting on the others and rereading chapters hoping it will stick.This book is excellent as it doesn't get too deep into the details of each subject/chapter. It gives you an amazing baseline with great nuggets of information along with visual aids. I went through half of it the first two evenings i had it. It'll also be a great reference guide to go back through since it's divided in organized chapters.I'm so grateful for this book! I'm hoping after i finish this one, it may make the more thorough book easier to read if i really want to get into the details.

I have always subscribed to the idea that we think in pictures. We read words that our imagination transforms into pictures that we can understand. Jason has merged both in this very helpful book. I especially liked the chapter on decision making. And he makes you aware of certain thinking biases that are sure to creep in on you throughout your entrepreneurial journey.

Good book

Contiene nociones generales del tema, el cual, como su nombre lo indica es muy visual .para que la mente asocié mas fácil.

Good quality paper and cover

C’est la première fois que je lis un livre illustré et c’est convaincant. On garde beaucoup plus en mémoire les points importants. Et ce livre apporte tous les points nécessaires à un MBA. Chaque lecteur fera ensuite ça recherche plus détaillée sur les sujets à approfondir. 18/20 mention très bien.

Deludente, disegni non memorabili e poco aiuto ad interiorizzare i concetti
